The Irish Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day Supporter’s Launch 2024 took place on Friday, February 2nd in Croke Park in preparation for Daffodil Day which takes place on Friday 22nd March.

Carlow locals Gretta Gorman, Jen Dawson, Mary Walsh and Pat Bolger joined MC Brendan Courtney and Irish Cancer Society CEO, Averil Power for the launch (pictured above).

Averil Power, CEO, Irish Cancer Society said: 'Every three minutes someone in Ireland hears the words ‘you’ve got cancer.’ There isn’t a family that hasn’t felt the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis. But no matter what cancer brings, the Irish Cancer Society is here to help.'

'All of our essential services, like free counselling, Night Nursing, and patient travel are fuelled by fundraising. We simply can’t provide them without the public’s generosity.'

'The more we raise on Daffodil Day, the more we can do. The more help we can give to children and adults going through cancer. The more lifesaving research we can fund. And the sooner we can ensure all cancer survivors have the support they need to live life to the full. We're all in because you are. Join us this Daffodil Day and help us do more.'

Whether you want to get involved with your school, company, or in your community, there are lots of ways to go all in and support cancer patients across Ireland. Visit cancer.ie to get involved or learn more.
